Errrrr for the Weekly Challenge. ^^; and Valentine's. I wrote a short story
Starry Night
Fawkes smiled eagerly as he carefully led Realtra up the hill. It was so difficult to get Fawkes out of the safety of his room, but when you could, he seemed to always know the best places to go. Carefully, Fawkes guided Realtra up the path that led to the top of the hill. Fawkes smiled softly, nuzzling Realtra as he looked around, "We're here," he said quietly.
Realtra smiled, "I'm sure it's beautiful," He murmured softly, looking upwards to the sky with his unseeing eyes. Fawkes smiled softly and nuzzling Realtra again before carefully helping him to sit, "Fawkes? What do you see?"
Fawkes leaned back and looked around, always keeping his paw on Realtra's to let him know that he was still there, "I see...... a soft yellow moon setting over the hills to our right.... The stars are out. Blues, purples, and black..... all dotted with stars and constellations..... Ursa major is above us.... Behind us is the city. The light pullution doesn't get to us here. It's a really beautiful night, Realtra," Fawkes pressed his nose against Realtra's cheek, a gentle affectionate gesture he was used to doing now. It was supposed to be reassuring. If not for Realtra, than for himself.
"I wish I could see it," Realtra murmured. Fawkes closed his eyes for a moment, steeling himself to be strong for his Valentine. He would not cry. Not tonight. Realtra would not want his pity. Only his love and the starry night.
"We'll find a way, Realtra.... Somehow, We'll find a way. I promise"
I can offer more short stories like these for Valentine's day, if you're interested. Just PM me or note me on DA :)
